“It’s a trap!” – Quoted from Admiral Ackbar, in “Return of the Jedi.” Ackbar first said when it has become clear that the Rebel Alliances has been ambushed by the Empire.

The quote is the most popular quote from the whole series, because this is the point where the big twist was revealed; Darth Vader is actually Luke Skywalker’s father!
